I first came across The Hunna in May last year, when the band played to a modest crowd in the Manchester Cathedral as part of the city\u2019s annual Dot to Dot Festival. But boy, have they grown since then.<\/p>\n
In little over a year, the Hertfordshire lads have rocked the stages of both Reading and Leeds Festivals, released their debut album 100<\/i>, and amassed a new and varied following for their self-described \u201cturn-up\u201d\u009d sound. The sixteen-track album made it to #13 on the Official UK Album Chart and was equally successful over in the \u201d\u02dcStates, featuring on the U.S. Alternative Songs chart.<\/p>\n
Following the album\u2019s release, the band are celebrating their success with fans on a pit-stop tour of the UK. Playing only eleven dates across a little less than a fortnight, I was really lucky to catch them at Manchester\u2019s Ritz last Sunday. Without doubt, the gig had more of a party-vibe than when I saw them last, as lead singer Ryan Potter encouraged the crowd that \u201canything goes\u201d\u009d when you\u2019re \u201cyoung, and getting down to some good music\u201d\u009d in celebration of their 2016 success.<\/p>\n
So as the \u201d\u02dcpits\u2019 broke out and fans climbed atop friend\u2019s shoulders, their 15-song set of high-powered and high energy songs had the famous Ritz ballroom floor \u201d\u02dcbouncing\u2019.<\/p>\n
Their break-through single You and Me<\/em> kicked the night off, starting the party the crowd had come for. Alternating indie-styled pop verses with a catchy chorus, the song captures exactly what The Hunna are all about – positivity.<\/p>\n
